After talking with Matt about this bass guitar and hearing a horrid story about another builder that I will not name. I told Matt that he had nothing to worry about with my company and we always give the customer more then he or she has paid for. Matt's a great guy and if you want to check out his myspace page here is the link. http://www.myspace.com/thebassplayerforhire He is also a damn good bass player and here is a link to his bands page. http://www.myspace.com/ghostworkband Matt wanted to use a set of Nordstrand pickups and a fanned fret setup for his bass. This bass is starting to really take shape and it is about half way to being finished. As you can see in the pictures it has a lot of different parts to it and the fret board is a solid piece of bubinga, wenge and snake wood that I blended together to make it a solid fret board. No short cuts here!!! I will be updating this page every week as this project moves forward so keep checking back to see the progress. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
